This Oughta Finish You! - Sakura Kasugano Combo Thread

[bitbna1]

As for team specific stuff maybe you guys can help me.

I have been playing Sakura/Zangief and Sakura/Kazuya at locals. Off of a boost combo into Sakura I do the normal maximized damage ending in Hp shoryu, and go for a tag because both Gief and Kazuya have ground to air groundbounces (Headbutt and mk overhead). Has anybody tried doing this kind of stuff midscreen before and have any tips on how to make it consistent with any character? I’ve been able to get the groundbounces before with lp gh immediate jump, and single misstep into the overhead (so hard lol).

Yo, I understand not everyone can hit confirm off of one touch. But the main idea is that, even if you are wrong, it’s safe. Hence why is was so good in AE. I don’t know, I can usually get a hit confirm off of one or two touches, so it’s just a natural reaction for me. But just remember that it’s safe anyhow, so why not?

Uh… huh? I’m not understanding you here. I wasn’t disagreeing with you about the hit-confirm. In fact I wasn’t disagreeing with you at all. All I said was that I added in a st.LK to make the chain to st.HP more consistent for me, and I got 338 damage off of it lol.

I haven’t tried any of it, but I can give it a whirl to see what I get to help you out.

Let me know, it’s kind of situational in match because it corner carries so from so far away. I really need to find something good with Gief for the scenario after playing today lol. Kazuya can just use st. hp if you don’t want to try anything with a ground bounce.

Yea.  It’s a really weird at first, but once you get it down it’s a little easier.  You have to hit the Cl.Hp somewhat early, but not too early other was you might get far St.Hp, or be out of reach to connect the far St.Hpxx HP Sho that follows.  I’d say to good way to visualize it is to be almost directly under the juggled character so Cl. Hp hits at it’s maximum height.  I’ve had the best luck with the LK tatsu afterwards if I buffer the motion into the Cl. Hp so that the tatsu hits closer to the end of the animation so you have more time to follow-up.

Sadly I can’t seem to get a Sakura Otoshi after the cr.hp after the CADC, the opponent seems too low at that point. Might be possible with the improvement to the Sakura Otoshi hitbox (they did buff that, right?) but I don’t think so.<br />

Always seemed more consistent with st.hp instead of cr.hp of you were going for the HK Otoshi. Would do 3 less damage compared to the cadc one(which looks awesome, but her CADC feels weird to me).
